Fluid Components International (FCI) is a leading manufacturer of flow meter products and services for a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, chemical, power generation, water and wastewater, and aerospace. The company was founded in 1964 and is headquartered in San Marcos, California. FCI has established itself as a reliable and innovative partner in flow measurement solutions.

FCI's flow meter products are designed to measure the flow of liquids, gases, and steam in a variety of applications. The company offers a wide range of products, including thermal dispersion flow meters, Coriolis flow meters, thermal mass flow meters, and flow switches. FCI's flow meters are known for their high accuracy, reliability, and durability. They are suitable for applications such as process control, emissions monitoring, and custody transfer.

FCI's thermal dispersion flow meters are particularly well-suited for gas flow measurement in harsh environments. These meters use a temperature sensor to measure the thermal energy transferred from the fluid to the sensor. By measuring the temperature difference between the upstream and downstream sensors, the flow rate can be calculated. FCI's thermal dispersion flow meters can measure flow rates from 0.01 to 1000 SFPS (0.003 to 305 NMPS) and can be used for gas, liquid, or steam applications.

FCI's Coriolis flow meters are ideal for accurate mass flow measurement of liquids and gases. These meters use the Coriolis effect to measure the mass flow rate of the fluid. The fluid is passed through a vibrating tube, and the resulting Coriolis forces are measured. FCI's Coriolis flow meters can measure flow rates from 0.1 to 3000 lb/min (0.015 to 68000 kg/hr) and are suitable for applications such as blending, batching, and custody transfer.

FCI's thermal mass flow meters are designed to measure the flow of gas in applications such as combustion air, natural gas, and biogas. These meters use a temperature sensor and a flow sensor to measure the mass flow rate of the gas. FCI's thermal mass flow meters can measure flow rates from 0.01 to 1000 SFPS (0.003 to 305 NMPS) and can be used for gas, liquid, or steam applications.

FCI's flow switches are designed to provide reliable flow monitoring and control. These switches can detect low or no flow conditions, and can be used to trigger alarms or shut down equipment. FCI's flow switches are suitable for applications such as chemical processing, water treatment, and HVAC systems.

In addition to its flow meter products, FCI offers a range of services to support its customers. The company's application engineers can assist with the selection and installation of flow meters, and can provide technical support throughout the life of the product. FCI also offers calibration services to ensure the accuracy of its flow meters, as well as repair and maintenance services to extend the life of its products.

In conclusion, Fluid Components International is a leading manufacturer of flow meter products and services, providing accurate, reliable, and durable solutions for a wide range of industries. With a commitment to innovation and customer service, FCI is well-positioned to meet the flow measurement needs of its customers.

Coriolis Flow Meters

Coriolis Flow Meters

A Coriolis flow meter measures mass by the inertia of a liquid or gas flowing through a vibrating tube that is equipped with a set of sensors at the inlets and outlets of the meter. The increased movement of the flow produces measurable oscillation that is proportional to the mass...

Flow Switches

Piston Type Flow Switch

A flow switch is a device that measures the flow rate and liquid pressure within a duct, loop, or system. Flow sensor and flow indication are other names for this switch. The primary purpose of a flow switch is to continually...

Level Switches

Level Switch

A level switch is an electrical or mechanical method for measuring the level of a liquid, powder, or granule material. It is designed to activate an alarm if the material level in a container passes a predetermined height or depth...

Magnetic Flow Meters

Magnetic Flow Meters

A magnetic flow meter is a volumetric flow meter that uses electrodes connected to the liquid flow to measure the velocity of fluids in a tube or pipe. The unique design of magnetic flow meters allows them to take their readings without the need for any moving parts...

Mass Flow Meters

Mass Flow Meters

A mass flow meter is a way of measuring the volume or mass of a gas or liquid passing through a system at a specific point in the flow system. They are used to measure linear, nonlinear, mass, and volumetric flow rates...

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

Ultrasonic Flow Meters

An ultrasonic flow meter measures the flow of a liquid or gas by sending ultrasonic waves across a pipe, containing the flow in the direction of the flow and in the opposite direction of the flow. The ultrasonic waves and the velocity of...

Metering Pumps

Diaphragm Metering Pump

A metering pump is a precision machine that moves or pumps a measured amount of fluid in a predetermined time to create volumetric flow. The term “metering pump” covers a wide range of pumping methods, each designed to meet...

Rotameters

Rotameters

A rotameter is a device that measures the flow of fluid volume per unit time in a closed tube. There are diverse rotameters applications, including chemical injection/dosing and tank blanketing. A rotameter can be said...

Water Filtering Systems

Water Filtering Systems

A water filtering system is a mechanism that is designed to remove solid particles, tiny or large, from inside a liquid through the use of a filter medium that only allows the liquid to pass but restricts solid particles....

Leak Detector

Leak Detector

A leak detector is a sensor used for monitoring a system that contains liquids, gasses, or other substances to ensure that the contained materials do not escape, leak, or otherwise leave the system. The leak detection process involves...

Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal Pumps

A centrifugal pump is defined as a hydraulic machine that changes mechanical energy into hydraulic energy by the use of centrifugal force acting on the fluid. This is a machine that uses rotation to enforce velocity on a liquid...
